Don,
They won't have to sell a lot to impact the average mileage. In fact I believe that I once read an article in one of the car magazines that they had almost killed the project because of the impact it would have on their fleet mileage. They will take the vehicle that gets the least mileage and that is where they will start their figure for the average for the fleet. And that is why Ford is going to phase out the V-8 in cars as they need it for trucks and the super charged V-6s make tons of power and torque, but do get somewhat better mileage which will help raise the fleet average. Many of the mid range cars won't get 35 MPG and the ones that do will have to get more than that to bring the average up and that is why the low mileage figure is so important, not the number sold. Or at least that is what I have read in various magazines.
